Boom_Confetti's Week 5 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arizona | Arizona has inertia and better wins at their side, so they get #1 |
| 2 | Houston | May not have played anyone yet, but I feel like this team should be super good |
| 3 | Kansas | UConn is tough, beating them, even at home, is impressive |
| 4 | UConn | @Kansas easily the least bad loss at of UConn, PU, and Marquette |
| 5 | Purdue | Welsh-Ryan is a cursed place, imho, but this is literally the same team as last year, unfortunately |
| 6 | Marquette | |
| 7 | Baylor | Seton Hall, MSU, Duke 3 game stretch will show what their one is made of |
| 8 | Florida Atlantic | Absolutely flattened everyone this week |
| 9 | Colorado State | Might be too aggressive of a ranking but idc |
| 10 | Gonzaga | |
| 11 | North Carolina | Absolutely killed the eye test, should’ve beaten Tennessee by way more |
| 12 | BYU | |
| 13 | Miami (FL) | I think Kentucky was a fluke, but the computers hate them |
| 14 | Illinois | Any win @Rutgers is huge, nevermind a blowout |
| 15 | Creighton | |
| 16 | James Madison | |
| 17 | Tennessee | |
| 18 | Duke | Omitted them last week, that was a big misstep, my bad |
| 19 | Kentucky | This team is excessively bipolar. I understand that they were without Wagner, but they’ve struggled in buy games with him as well |
| 20 | San Diego State | Omitted them last week, that was a mistake |
| 21 | Ohio State | OSU, JMU, and Oklahoma are blessed by inertia |
| 22 | Virginia | |
| 23 | Oklahoma | |
| 24 | Ole Miss | |
| 25 | Northwestern | Only loss is to Mississippi State, should absolutely be ranked |
Overall Rationale
Auburn would’ve be ranked if not for Appalachian State, if Texas beats Marquette I will have no choice but to rank them, absurd amount of chaos this week. Also considered: TAMU, Wisconsin, Princeton, and Cincinnati
